There are three choices of jellybeans: grape, cherry and orange. If the probability of getting a grape is 3/10 and the probability of getting cherry is 1/5, what is the probability of getting orange?

Answer:

5/10, or 1/2

Explanation:

If the probability of getting a grape is 3/10, and the probability of a cherry is 1/5 or 2/10, then the probability of getting orange is 5/10.

3/10+2/10=5/10

10/10-5/10=5/10

Simplified: 1/2
